F. Keyboard Interface
Typematic Rate Setting
When enabled, you can set the following two typematic control items. When
disabled, keystrokes are determined arbitrarily by the keyboard controller in your
system.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
The typematic rate sets the rate at which characters on the screen repeat when
a key is pressed and held down.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
The typematic delay sets how long after you press a key that a character begins
repeating.
G. Security Option
The Supervisor and/or User Password functions shown in Figure 3-1 must be set
to take advantage of this function. See Section 3-11 for password setting
information. When the Security Option is set to System, a password must be
entered to boot the system or enter the BIOS setup program. When the Security
Option is set to Setup, a password is required to enter the BIOS setup program.
H. OS Select (For DRAM > 64MB)
If your system's DRAM is larger than 64MB and you are running OS/2, select
OS/2 as the item value. Otherwise, set the item value to Non-OS/2 for all other
operating systems.
